You're lucky - Vienna is a wonderful city. I've never stayed in a hotel there but we left the motorhome on camping Vienna Sud for a small negotiated fee and stayed with friends. We got on a bus at the campsite to meet friends in the centre and wondered why no-one came to take money for a ticket. We found out why later- you're meant to get tickets first! (oops!) The transport system there is absolutely brilliant, we never waited more than five minutes for a train, bus or ubahn and it's so clean ( except for the fact that people in Vienna seem to have large dogs- and large dog seposits! watch where you walk)

The food and drink was good too. If you get time have a walk round the Naschmarket and Stefansplatz.  A ubahn to the Danube banks is good with some lovely restaurants along the banks.Schonbrunn palace is a wonderful place to visit with views over what seems the whole of Vienna. Have a brilliant time!

Stayed at the 5***** Le Meridian (?) on the RingStrasse in 2003 after returning from getting married in Florida.

Booked via a German travel site. Think it was around 300 euros for 4 nights room and breakfast. The beds were fantastic - the best nights sleep I've EVER had!!!
